词汇 | uzi |
词源 | Uzi. This widely used, highly reliable submachine gun bears the nickname of its inventor, Israeli arms expert Uziel Gal (1923–2002). An employee of the government-owned Israeli military industries, Gal invented the 9-millimeter, 9-pound weapon but received no royalties on the estimated 11⁄2 million Uzis sold around the world. It is said that he protested when the state agency named the machine gun for him. See tommygun. |
